Business moments

Your business is growing fast. Let us help you scale it.

Rapid growth is a good problem, but it stretches cash, systems and your structure. The businesses that scale well are the ones that put the financial foundations in before the wheels start to wobble.

What's happening

  • Sales and demand are climbing faster than you expected.
  • You are hiring, buying stock or investing ahead of the revenue landing.
  • Your GST and PAYG obligations are growing with your turnover.
  • The systems and structure that worked when you were small are starting to creak.
  • You want to grow without losing control of cash, margins or compliance.
What to think about

What to put in place as you scale.

  1. 01

    Fund the growth properly

    Growth consumes cash before it returns it. More stock, more wages and more debtors all need funding up front. We forecast the cash your growth will require and help you arrange the right finance so you are not caught short mid stride.

  2. 02

    Stay ahead of GST and PAYG

    As turnover rises so do the GST you collect and the PAYG you withhold and pay in instalments. The ATO may move you to monthly reporting or higher instalments. We make sure these are forecast and set aside, not a quarterly shock.

  3. 03

    Review your structure

    A structure that suited a small operation may no longer protect your assets or be tax efficient as profits climb. Now is the time to review whether a company or trust structure better fits where you are heading.

  4. 04

    Watch your margins, not just your sales

    Revenue can rise while profit falls if costs creep or you discount to win volume. We help you track gross margin by product or service so growth actually translates into profit, not just a bigger, busier business.

  5. 05

    Build financial controls and reporting

    Bigger numbers need tighter controls. Regular management reporting, budgets and key metrics let you steer rather than guess. We put reporting in place so you see issues early and make decisions on real data.

  6. 06

    Strengthen the team and systems

    Scaling means delegating. Cloud accounting, automated payroll and clear processes free you from the day to day so you can lead. We help you build the financial backbone your growing team can run on.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

Have a question that is not here? Call 07 3399 2300 or book a consultation and we will answer it directly.

Why does fast growth put pressure on cash?

Because you usually pay for growth before customers pay you. Extra stock, more wages, larger debtor balances and upfront investment all consume cash now, while the revenue arrives later. Without forecasting, a fast growing business can run out of cash even while it is profitable.

Should I change my business structure as I grow?

It is worth reviewing. A structure that suited a small sole trader may not protect your assets or minimise tax as profits rise. A company or trust can offer better asset protection and flexibility. We model the options against where your business is heading before recommending any change.

Will my ATO reporting change as turnover increases?

It can. Higher turnover and tax can move you from quarterly to monthly GST reporting and increase your PAYG instalments. We forecast these changes so the cash is always set aside and the increased obligations never catch you by surprise.
